need to replace spindle encoder

I get spindle alarm 47 (Detects incorrect position coder signal count operation) I need to replace encoder but this model is discontinued. I'm looking to replace by another model but how can i be sure that it is compatible?

thank a lot, i propably order to you in few day, is it realy a sumtak lhe-428 1024 or a compatible one? I'm not very familiar with that stuff, for connector, i just have to put same color of wire at the same position than the old one and it will work?

Is this a shaft encoder or through-hole?
You will find a replacement either at Renco or Hengstler, Koyo are also a low cost resource.
5vdc 1024 line differential should work OK.
BTW, Sumtak were taken over by Renco, now heidenhain own Renco.

Here is a Renco they are dumping these new/old models, ebay # 200369969848 $90.00
It is 1024 with a 1/2" shaft size, the cables are tricky to make up so if you go for it, get them to supply a cable.

You will most likely have a shield as the 9th wire.
The Sumtak info I have for the LHE series is:
White +5v
Black 0v
Red A
Pink /A
Olive B
Blue /B
Yellow Z
Orange /Z
shield
They are almost identical to the Renco style on ebay right now.
